NYT Questions Balance of Power In NFC East

How much did the N.F.C. East balance of power shift with the trade of Donovan McNabb to the Redskins?

The Redskins are no strangers to dramatic off-seasons, but the additions of McNabb and Mike Shanahan have the potential to move them up from the division cellar.

I disagree that the potential that lies within is not simply to move up from last place because they are simply the least worse off — this team has potential to WIN. That means playoff potential, I don’t care what the odds are.
